What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in Conway?

Conway, Arkansas is an endearing little town not too far from Little Rock. Its suburban feel and low cost of living make it a popular city for young professionals, probably due to the three colleges in the area. There is always a large influx of recent graduates who decide to make Conway their home each spring. The steady job market here makes it an appealing place for young professionals to begin their careers. As such, Conway is the fastest-growing city in the state. In an effort to provide accommodation for the growing population, the city has been working hard to remodel older buildings into apartment homes. New construction is also popping up city-wide.

Rehabilitation of some of the older homes in Conway certainly comes with its fair share of problems, especially when it comes to plumbing. The three most common plumbing issues we see in Conway include clogged drains, low water pressure, and leaking pipes. These are often due to the outdated plumbing systems in Conway’s historical buildings, especially in the downtown area and older residential buildings surrounding the Universities.

Clogged Drains

It’s pretty common to experience a clogged drain in your home. Often, the solution is as easy as pulling out the plug and removing whatever soap or hair residue has built up near your drain. These moderate clogs can cause your drains to slow but still function. When you experience a more severe clog which results in a total blockage and standing water, you’ll likely need to hire our plumbers. Unfortunately, home remedies for the situation like chemical drain cleaners can add to the problem rather than fix it. Your plumber will be able to provide a more long-term solution and will have the tools necessary to diagnose why the problem is happening in the first place. If clogs are frequent, or occur in multiple drains of your home, that may be indicative of a more widespread drainage issue in your Conway home.

Homes in larger buildings, especially historical buildings, are prone to clogs because of their outdated pipes. The hard water in Conway also leaves mineral deposits on the insides of your pipes, contributing to clogs and slow drains.

Low Water Pressure

Older homes often have trouble with maintaining water pressure. There are typically two reasons that this issue can occur: either older piping does not have the required diameter to focus water where necessary or there has been an accumulation of mineral buildup within the pipes from the hard water prevalent in the city. If you notice that the water pressure drops suddenly in your home, it is possible that you are attempting to use too many faucets at the same time or you may be facing a bigger problem of a leak somewhere in your plumbing or in the main water line to your home.

Leaks

Nothing is more exasperating than a faucet that continually drips. Not only does leaking plumbing prove to be annoying, but it is also a costly problem. Leaking pipes and fixtures can contribute to gallons and gallons of wasted water in a single day.

Common leaking culprits include:

  • Faucets and toilets
  • Hidden water lines
  • Washing machine hoses and connections
  • Water heaters
  • Outside taps
  • Hard water deposits contributing to high water pressure and line breaks

For instance, one running toilet can waste over a gallon of water each hour! That will certainly translate to a much higher water utility bill.

How Does the Water in Conway Affect Your Plumbing?

The contaminants in the water found in the Conway area can negatively affect your plumbing. Conway Corp, which provides water to the city of Conway, annually reports a summary of its water quality. The Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Act requires that water companies issue a report annually regarding what has been found in the water. This Consumer Confidence report details where the water comes from, what it contains, and the risks water testing and treatment are designed to prevent.

Over time, particulates in the water can cause mineral buildup inside of your pipes, in your hot water heater, and even inside your toilets. Sometimes, the installation of a water softener or home water filtration system can help to alleviate this buildup. Even water that has been deemed safe to drink will have particles of heavy metals, calcium, and other small contaminants that can cause the breakdown of your plumbing, corrosion, and buildup.

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Conway?

The cost of plumbing work, like any other skilled labor, is dependent on the nature of the job. Routine maintenance or simple fixes in Conway usually cost between $100 and $400. More complex repairs, emergency services, and holiday or weekend hours will obviously run your bill higher, sometimes up to $900 or more. You can always ask us for an estimate or an hourly breakdown of the work to be completed before you hire us. This way, you won’t be surprised by any hidden fees or large bills.

Cost Factor: Size of Job

Plumbing issues can range from a tiny drip in your bathroom sink to huge drainage issues with your septic system. The larger and more complex the job, the more it will end up costing you. Larger jobs will require more of our staff and longer hours, so you can expect to pay more. For instance, if you have a tiny leak on an exposed basement pipe, you can expect it will cost less than a leaking pipe inside a wall. That hidden pipe will be harder to find, diagnose, and repair simply because of the location of the leak. As the scale of your project increases, so does the amount of equipment needed and so does the price of completion.

Cost Factor: Timing

Unfortunately, plumbing emergencies happen at all hours of the day. Your leaking hot water heater might not wait until daylight hours before it decides to flood your basement. Anytime you call our plumbers outside of business hours, you’ll be spending more money to have them come out to your home. Of course, you won’t be able to predict when these things will happen, but scheduling regular inspections and maintenance of your plumbing and water systems with our experts will help to keep on top of any potential issues before they start.

Cost Factor: Location

If you live right in downtown Conway, it will be easy for our plumbers to help you with your plumbing problems. Our residential plumbers are often called into the heart of the city to fix leaks and unclog drains. However, if you live in a historic building, you may find yourself paying a bit more. Repairs to historical buildings sometimes have to follow certain codes and restrictions to maintain the integrity of historic properties while also maintaining certain safety and quality standards. This can often be more costly than if you lived in a newly constructed home.

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in Conway?

Of course, updating your plumbing systems can save you money in Conway, and anywhere in Arkansas you choose to live. Updated plumbing can help to raise the value of your home, save on water consumption, and avoid costly long-term repairs.

For instance, updating your bathrooms to include water-efficient fixtures will conserve water, lowering both your monthly water bill and your negative impact on the environment. On bathroom faucets, you can easily install low-flow aerators which will use much less water, saving a family of four roughly 8,500 gallons of water a year.

Investing in new fixtures and appliances can reduce the chances that things will break at inopportune times too. With newer plumbing, you won’t find yourself dealing with frequent clogs or leaks either. For homeowners, you can often get rebates for choosing energy-efficient or water-conserving options too. CenterPoint Energy and the Arkansas Public Service Commission are offering rebate incentives for residents who choose to install energy-saving hot water heaters in their homes. This can add up to over $500 in savings for residents who choose to make this upgrade.

When Should You Call the Water Utility Company in Conway vs Hire a Plumber?

When the water in your home isn’t working properly, it is natural to panic. But when should you call Conway Corporation about your water problem? Do you need to call the city’s water department? Or should you call our plumbers?

Call Conway Corporation if:

  • You suddenly experience a loss of water in your whole house.
  • You see water in the street, leaking from hydrants, or spurting from the ground.
  • You need the water service turned on or off.
  • Your water is still discolored after running it for 10-20 minutes.

Call our professional plumbers if:

  • You have noticeable leaks inside your home.
  • Your drains are working improperly.
  • You notice a large increase in your water bill.
  • You hear noises in your pipes.
  • You have standing water in your yard or near septic systems.
  • Your toilets continue to run or make noise after flushing.

If you are still unsure who to call, it is best to have our plumbers come out and take a look. They will know if it is something that you need to fix on your own property or they’ll advise you on who to call next.

When Do You Need Permits for Plumbing Service in Conway?

The city of Conway follows the 2006 Arkansas State Plumbing Code, which requires permits for most large-scale plumbing work. Additionally, the city of Conway has instituted ordinances and its own set of guidelines that it has added to the state rules.

You may need a permit if the scope of your work will include:

  • installing plumbing in new construction or remodeling existing work
  • inspection, maintenance, or removal of sewer and water lines
  • Installation lawn or fire sprinklers
  • inspections of existing plumbing
  • replacing water heaters
  • installing water conditioning equipment (including water softeners) or water filtration systems.

The city does make it very easy to obtain the permit you need. Applications can be found online. For minor work inside your home such as leak repairs, toilet replacement, or dishwasher installation, no permits are required.
